Goodbye Stevie

A tribute to the late, great Stevie Wright. Vale Stevie. We'll miss ya.

[@raddmann336]

As an American I knew the song Friday on my Mind when I was growing up but it's only been very recently that I learned about them here on youtube. Stevie was a helluva performer and so sad to see him gone.

[@OldiesMomma]

I agree 👍 with you that he was a great performer and song writer. He was a legend. He had so much talent that was not recognised for. They keep forgetting that he was the first song writing partner of George Young and Harry Vanda. It was Stevie's lyrics that George Young put the melody to. Stevie wrote the Lyrics to many of their Frist albums. Vanda only started to write anything after Stevie was pushed under the Bus. So vanda could take over the writing partner ship.

[@brendonstevens3538]

As an Australian The best frontman ever..he set the standard...no one came close.

God rest your soul Stevie

[@corinap.716]

Stevie I always ❤ you. You are still in my ❤ I'm getting goosebumps all over my body right now.. RIP STEVIE

[@mickeymisa9350]

God bless your soul Stevie. Stevie influenced my life, though I didn't know it at the time.

[@paulperry2120]

I turned down a chance to meet Stevie at Dalmeny. I was a bit nervous. Wish I did now.

[@venderstrat]

Stevie: Love you man.

[@glt0145]

Stevie Wright sang one of the most enduring songs I have ever had the please of listening to. Evie will for ever be his legacy to the Australian Music Industry.So beautifully sung. Thank You Stevie Where ever you may be...

[@davidwalker6194]

Sorely missed, what a talented man.Stevie RIP.

[@latinmaleaz]

i just listened(2x) the song: hello, how are you? I have watched his interviews and how Stevie talked about his life n challenges, in one i could see his desire to keep living, for whatever reason i still cry when i see this man and his voice in the many songs he sang. Friday is on my mind, that is the first song of him. RIP: return if possible.

[@rjplamf61]

if we could only stay young forever. getting old sucks.

[@richardweiler3966]

Tell me about it.

[@MoosesValley]

So full of life, such a cheeky grin, he was one of the real trailblazers and pioneers - one of the very first wild men of rock, with such incredible talent.

[@jacquesatlantis4352]

Mick Jagger a copié sur lui par ces gestes de scène

[@thomashickey3195]

EVERYTIME HE PERFORMED HE GAVE IT 100%

[@pameladouglas9434]

When I was in second year of nursing, another student nurse, Tash, she was telling us all, about this incredibly beautiful song, 'Evie' and that when we heard it on the radio, we all had to listen carefully to the beautiful words. I did that it's a beautiful song. I hope you are having a nice life up there in Heaven.

[@stephenvanasten8046]

Stevie Wright ,just the best! Sadly missed. Thanks Stevie for all the great music that was a major part of my life growing up. Easy fever forever!

[@rodmeers5943]

Great singer some how life got away from him sadly missed God Bless you

[@leighsheridan6187]

I think he’s the most adorable and sweet guy as well as a total legend as a singer and frontman ❤️ Love you Stevie 💙

[@kaycoulson8058]

[@nolafeben6133]

A beautiful part of my youth never forgotten. Vale Stevie, thanks for the music.

[@micksontheroad]

Very touched by this beautifully-crafted memorial😢

[@deanharvey7556]

Bought a tear to my eye. For such a tear away vibrant lad to a shell of his former self that bloody heroin sure took its toll on our Little Stevie.

[@stevemeredith9022]

Thank you so very much for posting this footage. 💕

[@alicestanford9873]

He appeared to be a like able guy. Not an uppity person

[@stevemeredith9022]

@@alicestanford9873 He was very much so. Sadly he suffered from drug addiction for most of his adult life but he was clean for most of his later life before his death.

[@julieegan1337]

What a legend for-sure, i knew him before he got on heroin, he was gorgeous & a great young man, i was 15 😃😘😘😍😍 loved u heeeeeeaps Stevie xoxoxoxox 💜🧡💖💛💚💝💙💗 see u when i get to heaven one day 😘😘😘❤

[@cindyfinau1321]

Thank U for the great music ,very talented

[@sleepyjean4275]

He could have been the front man for AC/DC. Stevie Wright, your always on my mind. Wish he was still here. 😢

[@pameladouglas9434]

Fond memories of the Cardiac Ward at Cabrini and Barb the Unit Manager, and a group of second year nurses from Ascot Vale, and Tash who introduced me to this beautiful song.

[@lisaaffeldt-ford8977]

Days gone by. Tears 😭

[@anarecinos8031]

Stardom to early , 16 years old . Great retrospective to the sound of Evie, part II. R.I.P.

[@65pricey]

I had the pleasure of being friends with Stevie ( much of which revolved around drugs) he sure knew how to have fun. Miss u mate

[@fayewittwer5208]

You must miss him very much Damn the drugs alcohol and that bloody hospital 🏥 That's what killed him 😢

[@cav366]

That smile of his always makes me smile , loved Friday on my mind .

[@JesusLives]

its so sad time. He was on top in 1968 and now he lies in the ground. Its so sad.

[@lindsaykelly2224]

It gets one and all

[@OldiesMomma]

It was sad 😭😭 to watch the way they took him off of the stag the way they did 😢😢😢 They could have shown him at a better time in his life. When he was younger and healthy. And having a great performance 😂. People want to remember him at his best 😂😂. Not the frail elderly person that was almost caried off. He deserved to be treated with respect.❤ After all he did for for the music from Australia 😂😂. He was a great performer and song writer, and he was a great Legend 🎉😂😂❤❤. Hopefully we will give him the rescept and the Love 💕😘 he was intiled to receive from his peers and his friends. ❤❤❤. Remember him with Fond memories 😂😂. You are loved ❤❤ And we miss you Rest In Peace Stevie 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Those are the Flowers 🌺🌹 that I would have left you if I could have been able to attend your funeral services 😢😢😢

[@comeon718]

[@merrick2752]

[@corinap.716]

You have described and written that beautifully ♥️

[@dananmckie9253]

[@missym7245]

[@brankokovac686]

i saw the easy beats at there reunion festive hall melb mid 1980,s sounded just like the record, pure raw great music never will forget that performance unlike todays bands that hid behind tec to try and sound the same as there music

[@mistymac9345]

I was so much in love with you Stevie 💗

[@debugin1227]

talked with Stevie at metropolis ... he was saddened that his friends in management had siphoned off his money.. it was sad.

[@brankokovac686]

Those people should be locked up for life they ruin people’s life and get away with it maybe a green arrow in this country would do what’s needed in justice

[@OldiesMomma]

Who was the people who were responsible for taking all of Stevie Wright's money. And it is sad 😭😭 that your Friends and Family are. Usely the ones that will steal you blind 😢😢 Because you are naive and don't think that they were capable of such a Betrayal of your Friendship 😢😢😢😢. Keep your Friends close so you can watch them 😢😢😢😢 .

[@janhall5659]

Lovely tribute.Sad how it all ended up.

[@brankokovac686]

saw the band in festival hall reunion sounded just as good if not better live, will be missed

[@eddieberberich6611]

TERRIFIC TALENT. GOD BLESS. R.I.P.

[@russellcampbell9198]

He was great - flaws and all.

[@raymaseacat2685]

Such a great talent. This breaks my heart. RIP Stevie.

[@pameladouglas9434]

Extreme fond memories of 2nd. year nursing, and Tash and me and others, on the cardiac ward at Cabrini it was 1993. Extremely wonderful days with Jenny Falconer.

[@marilynbaino481]

Lovely stevie!💋❤

[@frantisekaudy]

Stevie was a great artist. it certainly lacks the whole music world. his songs have become a modern classic. the honor of his memory.

[@littleheath1666]

Stevie was admitted in the early 1970s to Chelmsford Private Hospital under Dr Harry Bailey and was given the Deep Sleep Therapy which was a medical induced coma for 11 days. He was never the same again..

[@cindyspowart555]

Absolutely tragic that that was done to him.

[@gdaym8635]

Wasn’t much older than me when he started in the easybeats what an amazing human r.i.p Stevie

[@alanhesketh9265]

We love you Stevie...RIP. Thanks for the memories.

[@gdaym8635]

Poor Stevie had a hard life but that didn’t stop him goodbye my friend :(

[@beldaantoine9505]

Antoine: from Marseille (France). I am devastated!

[@gerrymandering9616]

I'm not much into music but I didn't realise the length and depth of his tunes in my life. He was singing before I was born, he sang throughout and it saddens me he's gone. Take care mate.

[@denysemcalister7082]

What a beautiful tribute, thanks for posting

[@misterfrugellhound]

a sad end to a legend........

[@ilonamariaszabo8256]

[@lindsaykelly2224]

Still so bloody hard to realise he's gone

[@lindsaykelly2224]

Imagine Stevie and George upstairs writing hit songs waiting for the rest of the lads to come up and join them " we have a fantastic venue for a new start"

[@rajendranramasundram2570]

+Cheryl O'Connor My thoughts exactly Cheryl. XX

[@24688200]

+Belinda Hodge Aye - of all the tributes I saw this reflects the beautiful Soul I met, became friends with and knew for a time. Been a long time since I was as sad as I was when he went. Cheeky bugger he was. :) x

[@BelindaHodge]

+Cheryl O;Connor Oh my gosh, how lucky that you got to meet and know him. Evie 1, 2 and 3 has to be one of my favorite songs of all time. It's so classical and timeless, moving, sad, and raw. What a gift Stevie gave us. XXX

[@24688200]

+Belinda Hodge Aye I was mate and he sure did give and leave a huge gift. Used to come into Aroneys when I was working there, in Katoomba. :) Couldn't hope to meet a nicer bloke.

[@suzie8patrickstreet]

So Sad Such Huge Talent, SHOULD OF Become Major International Star, Managers ripped the whole Band off. R.i.P.

[@pereraddison932]

maria axi ... and so it goes... fame is a very nasty taskmaster. IT, is an all consuming and completely inconsiderate THING... IT is ruthlessly heartless and cruel to those that belie-EVE in IT. But there are an endless stream of fools who will always fall for the hype and trappings of the perennial per"riff"ferral predators who prey on the dreamers...

[@sebastiaogeraldo5344]

Evie é uma canção que revela a história de Stevie muito linda essa história a final de contas foi a vida de um gênio

[@sebastiaogeraldo5344]

Stevie Wright um dos maiores vocalista dos anos 60 e 70

[@python357magnum100]

Very Sad.

[@many-vn5cz]

I saw Stevie at Twin towns about 10 yrs ago he still had it it was so sad to see what the drugs and alcohol had done to him

[@ilonamariaszabo8256]

És,a szeretö nö és kisfia hiànya,tegyük hozzá!😪 Az alkohol a hiányt színezte rozsaszínüre!Csodálatos,jó Lélek! ❤

[@OldiesMomma]

And don't forget the treatment that he was given at the Chelmsford private hospital 😢 Drugs and alcohol was just the beginning of his life going to Hell.😢😢 Because he went to at least 3 different rehab center for the help to recover 😢😢. 1 gave him a cocktail of drugs that nobody knows what was in them. That put him in a deep sleep induced coma for two weeks. While under them he was unable to get the oxygen that his brain needed to servie. It caused him to suffer from brain Damage for the rest of his life. 😢😢. But that was not enough harmful things that he went through. He was also given 14 electric shock treatment's without his permission . When he tried to get away from the rehab center he had to jump out of a window they found him took him back and started his treatment over again 😢😢 Then he tried to get help from the Westmont rehabilitation center. That didn't work either.😢😢😢 After his release he was caught trying to break into a house. And before the end of the month he was arested for a second time, this time for having drugs on him 😢😢😢. I think that he would have been better off trying to break the habit by himself .😢😢 The 3 rd rehab center where he went nobody knows what happened to him 😢😢. He had to go through all of this by himself 😢😢. His Faithful Wife left him when he needed her the most 😢😢😢 If you don't have anyone who cares about you, you tend not to care about yourself. She had forgotten about her Marriage Vows That She took. For better or worse for richer or poorer good times and in bad , until Death do you part 😢😢😢😢 She dropped the ball . Because she didn't care about him. Money is what she was what kept her there 😢😢😢😢

[@master335]

Got depressed watching this stevie lad😢😢

[@maudemathildeh335]

Same here 😥

[@OldiesMomma]

Me too😢😢😢 I am only able to watch him in short periods of time before it makes me feel sad and cry. Especially when I see him in his last year's. All the changes that he went through in his life. 😢😢😢 To watch him singing and dancing when he was 16 - ? To watch him perform in the year 2009 when he performed at his last concert was 💓 breaking😢😢😢😢. So much love for life and to entertain for his fans❤. To know what happened to him in the Chelmsford private hospital Where he was given 14 Electronic shock treatment's and a cocktail of drugs for 2 weeks😢😢😢 that put him in a coma were his brain was not able to get oxygen and he suffered BRAIN DAMAGE. MAKES ME CRY😢😢😢. I THINK THAT HE HAD TROUBLE TRYING TO REMEMBER ANSWERING QUESTIONS HE IS ASKED😢😢😢😢 JUST WATCH HIS FACE TELLS YOU SOME THINGS WRONG. 😢😢😢

[@latinmaleaz]

last weeks this song have been in my head....and repeating in my mind....crying and be saddened for this man, IDK if it's only me, but in this song I hear his voice saying:"I don't want to depart yet."

[@InchtureDiary]

I well up watching this and his latter years. To think he got through the 60's fairly unscathed then succumb to drugs at the time he became a father. Then, undergoing treatment that further ruined his life 😢 His story is very sad and hard to hear.

[@pameladouglas9434]
